Wei Fan checked Gu Cha’s body. He glanced at Lu Chenyu’s darkened face and said, “Young Master, from now on, you absolutely must not let Gu Cha drink alcohol again. Not a single drop.”
Lu Chenyu gave a brief “hmph” in acknowledgment.
Wei Fan sighed. “The medicine has already been administered to Gu Cha. I’ll be going now.”
Once Wei Fan left, Lu Chenyu got into bed and lay beside Gu Cha. His fingers pinched Gu Cha’s cheeks as he lowered his head and kissed him.
“You need disciplining…”
In his sleep, Gu Cha felt his breathing become difficult. He twisted uncomfortably from side to side. “Go away… no… hmm…”

“Smack!”
Lu Chenyu slapped Gu Cha’s small buttocks and scolded, “Not obedient at all. You deserve this.”
Gu Cha, still half-asleep, felt a sharp pain and murmured unconsciously, “Don’t… hurt…”
Lu Chenyu buried his head in Gu Cha’s neck, smelling him like a pervert, inhaling his scent.
At that moment, in Gu Cha’s mind, Tong Tong—who had witnessed the whole scene and finally realized what had happened to the child who had been kidnapped for so long—let out a thunderous scream.
【What’s happening! Ahhh! Cha Cha, what exactly did I miss!】
Gu Cha had no idea that Tong Tong was nearly losing his mind. Under the effect of the medicine, he slept soundly, showing no sign of waking even as Lu Chenyu groped him.
…………
Wen Ru had never imagined that one day, the son he had always treated as a mere chess piece would bring him down from his “pedestal.”
He was imprisoned in the Wen family basement.
At some point, Wen Xuqian had gained control of most of the Wen family’s shares, even secretly colluding with Wen Ru’s subordinates to transfer Wen Ru’s shares into Wen Xuqian’s name.
Just a few days ago, Wen Ru had been removed from his position as chairman, and Wen Xuqian took over. The first thing Wen Xuqian did after obtaining real power was to lock Wen Ru in the basement. To this day, Wen Ru had not seen sunlight.
Back then, Wen Ru had also used underhanded methods to seize the position of head of the Wen family. He never expected that now his son would use even harsher methods to take away his place.
One had to admit: like father, like son.
After Wen Xuqian took charge of the Wen family, he increasingly clashed with Lu Chenyu.
“Cha Cha.” Wen Xuqian called out to Gu Cha, who was hurrying back to the Gu Family for dinner. Beside Gu Cha stood Qi Siheng.
Gu Cha responded with a puzzled “hmph.” Though he didn’t want to stop, he paused out of politeness, standing at the stairway. Many classmates brushed past him as they went downstairs. Gu Cha waved at Wen Xuqian: “What is it?”
Wen Xuqian took a few steps forward and pulled Gu Cha down the stairs. Passing Qi Siheng, he gave him a warning glance. Qi Siheng was startled, hesitated, and didn’t follow.
Gu Cha struggled uncomfortably, but Wen Xuqian held him tighter. He looked at Gu Cha calmly, as if he hadn’t noticed the resistance at all. “Would you like to come to my house for dinner tonight? My dad… hasn’t seen you in a long time. It’s his birthday today, and he wants to see you.”
Gu Cha recalled that Wen uncle’s birthday seemed to be today… and in his memory, Wen uncle had always treated “Gu Cha” quite well.
“Th-then… okay, I’ll go,” Gu Cha agreed.
A hint of a smile appeared in Wen Xuqian’s eyes. He reached out and ruffled Gu Cha’s soft hair. “I’ll send someone to pick you up, but… Lu Chenyu shouldn’t come. My family isn’t holding a banquet, just a small dinner among acquaintances. My dad doesn’t know him, and you wouldn’t want to upset the birthday celebrant, right?”
Gu Cha thought about it and found it reasonable. “Mm-hmm, okay.”
The smile in Wen Xuqian’s eyes grew stronger.
When Gu Cha returned to the Gu Family, he told Lu Chenyu about going to the Wen family for dinner, but he was firmly rejected.
“You’re not going.”
Gu Cha tugged at Lu Chenyu’s arm. “Cha Cha already agreed… you can’t go back on your word.”
Lu Chenyu was very forceful this time. He pulled Gu Cha’s hand away. “I said you’re not going, so you’re not going,” he said, pinching Gu Cha’s face as he looked into his clear, innocent eyes. “It’s just that you little fool don’t understand what he means.”
Gu Cha pouted, murmuring softly, “You always call me a fool…”
At six in the evening, Lu Chenyu went to the company to handle documents. Before leaving, he pressed Gu Cha onto the sofa and kissed him forcefully. After finishing, he warned, “You’re not going.”
Gu Cha, dazed from the kiss, could only gasp, unable to speak. Seeing this, Lu Chenyu scolded him and kissed him again.

…………
Gu Cha still went to Wen Xuqian’s house. Wen Xuqian had anticipated that Lu Chenyu would try to stop him, so he personally went to the Gu Family. By now, Wen Xuqian was no longer “Young Master Wen” but “President Wen.” Gu Songqing, eager to get along with him, pushed Gu Cha out without a word upon learning the purpose of his visit.
Under the gaze of everyone in the Gu Family, Wen Xuqian boldly led Gu Cha away.
The Gu Family’s bodyguards immediately called Lu Chenyu.
…………
Wen Ru smiled as he used the communal chopsticks to serve Gu Cha. His smile was full of warmth. “Eat more. Cha Cha is too thin.”
Gu Cha thanked Wen Ru.
Even though Gu Cha loved eating, this time something felt strange. Why, for Wen uncle’s birthday, was only he invited for dinner… Was he the only acquaintance of Wen uncle?
“Tong Tong, Cha Cha is a little scared…” Gu Cha called to Tong Tong in his mind.
【Tong Tong also finds it a bit strange, but Tong Tong can’t explain why. In the past, the Original Owner was also invited to Wen Xuqian’s father’s birthday dinners, but there were always banquets…】
When the Wen family servants brought out the birthday cake, Wen Xuqian’s faintly mysterious smile appeared.
Gu Cha ate the large slice of cake handed by Wen Ru, but for some reason, he couldn’t feel happy. Normally, eating was something that brought him joy.
“Cha Cha.” Wen Xuqian handed Gu Cha the milk he hadn’t finished earlier. “Drink it all, okay?”
Gu Cha took the milk and drank it all.
By nine in the evening, Gu Cha felt sleepy. Rubbing his eyes, he weakly asked Wen Xuqian to take him back to the Gu Family. Wen Xuqian, observing his state, said, “Alright, I’ll take you home now.”
“Prepare the car.”
Butler: “Yes, Young Master.”
Wen Xuqian held Gu Cha as they got into the car. Leaning against the window, Gu Cha was groggy. In his daze, he heard Wen Xuqian speaking with an unfamiliar voice.
“Old guy left?”
“Yes, Young Master. The old man boarded a flight to Country A an hour ago.”
Then Gu Cha heard a “bang,” like a car door closing. Someone sat beside him. His tilted body was scooped up by a pair of hands, and he was held securely in someone’s embrace.
